Bio: Originally from rural southwestern Pennsylvania, I moved to Pittsburgh
to pursue various career pursuits in both the finance and legal sectors. Pursuing
a career in psychology was a mid-life career change for me. During my clinical
training, I had the opportunity to work with college students in multiple university
counseling center settings in Pennsylvania and Virginia. It was through these clinical
experiences that I developed a passion for working with college students, and developed
group counseling as an area of emphasis.

I enthusiastically accepted a position as a Supervised Staff Psychologist at the
Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services (CCPPS) in August of
2016. Shortly after joining the CCPPS team, I started serving as the center’s group
coordinator.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible.
Among my favorite outdoor activities are hiking, camping, and spending time sitting
on the beach along any shoreline or coast.
